I wish the ladies on The View would start wearing veils. Much more cost effective than cosmetic procedures. Oprah too. We can just kind of throw a sheet over that sort of thing to make it more watchable.

Quoting Dreadnought (Thread starter):Why not simply a radio station? Why do we want to see a talk show where everyone is in a black bag?

Presumably there are other things to show onscreen than talking heads. If their religious beliefs dictate that they wear veils, I don't see why that should keep them off TV. It wouldn't be a show or network I'd be interested in anyway. Furthermore, could this show be any worse than the McLaughlin Group?

Quoting Mir (Reply 4):In all seriousness, though, if they want to go about it this way, more power to them.

Really, it might be a step in the right direction for them. I think that a lot of criticism of this idea is based on anti-Islamic sentiment. After all, did anyone criticize BET?

Quoting Doona (Reply 6): is the purpose of a television channel for women for you to look at said women?

Maybe. Think about sideline reporters. The only reason to have some woman tell me about some guy's pulled groin rather than the guy in the booth telling me is to inject some boobies into the sports action. Which, on the whole, is probably good since it balances out the fact that, for that moment, I am actually taking an interest in the condition of another man's groin.

But having a woman do the actual play-by-play always sounds to me like an angry lesbian yelling at me. I don't know about anyone else, but I got enough of that in gym class.
